In a dry blender, grind the cashews into a powder. Add 1 cup vegetable broth and blend until it makes a completely smooth cashew cream.

Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Sauté the onion, cauliflower, broccoli stems, and marjoram for 5 minutes. Add the remaining vegetable broth, cashew cream, and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium heat and cook until the vegetables are very soft (approximately 20 minutes).

Using an immersion blender (or in small batches in a regular blender) blend the soup base until it is completely smooth. Add the broccoli florets and cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until broccoli is tender. (Adding the broccoli separately ensures a creamy, white soup base, rather than one that's tinged green.) Add pepper to taste, and serve hot.
